This contribution is aimed to provide material that can be used to develop more realistic physical models of voice production. The experimental methodology and the results of measurement of subglottal, oral (substitute for subglottic) and acoustic air pressure (captured at a distance of 20 cm in front of the subject’s mouth) are presented. The data were measured during ordinary speech production and when the acoustic impedance and mean supraglottal resistance were raised by phonating into differently sized tubes in the air and having the other end submerged under water. The results presented in time and frequency domain show the physiological ranges and limits of the measured pressures in humans for normal and extreme phonation.
